P5 – 7 enjoyed some baking linked to maths this morning. The children calculated ratios for a recipe to make half and double the quantity for a recipe for Courgette Muffins. We also used our knowlege of fractions to reduce and increase portions of fruit in the recipe.
We chose this recipe as it had healthy fruit and veg in the ingredients:
- courgettes
- apples
- oranges
Once we had worked out our amounts for each ingredient, we got stuck in following the recipe method. We weighed and measured the items and used hygienic food preparation methods to make our muffin batter. After a quick spin in the oven, they were ready for eating.
Everyone in school gave them a big thumbs up and agreed it was an easy way to get those fruit and veg in our diet. 🙂
